Here’s version 2.0 of our top 10 Toronto dining spots with a toddler. We dine out a lot but we can barely put a dent into our Eating out in Toronto hit list. So needless to say, we have plenty of spots to add to this list. Since the last update we now have a toddler and a newborn so we’re even pickier on where we dine. Innovative and authentic cuisine with good drinks in a relaxed, baby friendly atmosphere is what we seek. I can get by without a high chair or change table but when they are on offer, we appreciate them greatly. The list is no particular order.

April 28, 2016 at 5:24 pmWhen I came across this post my mouth dropped. With a newborn and a 22 month old my husband and I have been wanting to bring the girls out for a nice outing. Thanks for the list Yashy.

April 29, 2016 at 1:00 pmYou can definitely do it Ashley! I find that taking them out from week 1 helped us teach them how to behave and act at restos. We’ve had mishaps of course!

May 19, 2016 at 9:31 amSome great suggestions here! I Miss all the great food in the city….we’re planning a road trip in a couple weeks, and I’d love to stop in at La Carnita!

May 19, 2016 at 12:10 pmThere’s a new La Carnita at King and John and that’s got way more space so there’s hardly a line up!!

March 8, 2017 at 2:41 pmThis is great! We love Jawny Bakers (O’Connor & St. Clair) as they’re great with kids but it doesn’t feel like a “kid” restaurant.
Yashy
March 8, 2017 at 8:58 pmOh I must check them out!
